Celebrating a decade of God’s faithfulness Welcoming 2020, the year of my reward and recompense

An overriding theme of the decade for me is His faithfulness. God ushered me into the decade by first calling me into a yearlong sabbatical, which little did I know would be the same year I would be married and move to the United States. Being married and living as an immigrant in a new land, became the perfect backdrop for me to experience God’s faithfulness in a new way. Allow me to share with you the highs and lows of the past decade and how through it all God held my hand and steadied me to grow in my faith and relationship with him 2009: Todd and I got married. This year was marked with miracles of provision for our wedding, my visa to move to the US in time for our wedding and for me and my husband as we were both negatively impacted by economic downturn in the country.  The same year God would perfectly provide for us and ensure we had roof over our head, food on our table and clothes over our back. It was the year God reminded me that He will always be the God who will pro

2016: A Year of Learning to Walk in Love

And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:2  I believe that year 2016 is a year of learning to consistently walk in the love of God.   The Hebrew word for 16 is the compound word yod-vav, a word that signifies the hand (outworking) of the nail, which joins the hearts of two people as one. Sixteen is the number of love. It was because of the love of God that Jesus was nailed to the cross for the sin of the world. The cross manifested the love of God for all mankind. This truth is explicit in John 3:16. To walk in love necessitates a willingness to lay down one’s life. It requires living out the truth of Galatians 2:20 “ I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me . It is only through dying to self that one can possibly fulfill the sixt

2015: A year of rest and deliverance

  “On the fifteenth day of that month the LORD's Festival of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. Leviticus 23:6 God commanded the Israelites to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread on the 15 th day of the first Hebrew month (Nisan) which ushered Israel into a season of rest. This season of rest came after God delivered Israel out of 430 years of Egyptian captivity (Exo:12:17; 40-42). 2015 indeed was a year when God ushered me into a season of deliverance and rest. It was a year when God cancelled all our debts, and was able to live practicing the 70,20,10 principle again. It was also a year of many opportunities, travels and busyness in the Kingdom work. As I went about God's business He taught me that rest is a possibility if I will only believe  because deliverance and rest come to those who truly believe that God “exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Heb.11:6). It was a season

God's Recent Loving Instruction to me

The letter below is a combination of the words God downloaded in my spirit and through the Word of God during the past 3 days of seeking His face for specific direction concerning a major decision I had to make. God is good! My dear daughter Elsie, You are the head not the tail. If you fully obey me your Lord your God and carefully follow all my commands I will set you high above the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God. You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed. You will always have what you need. You will be blessed when you come and blessed when you go out. Your enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven. I your God will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. I will bless you in every land I bring and give you to. I your God will establi

What the year 2012 will be for you

 The post below is an entry in my electronic journal at the onset of this year. Even if it is a bit late for me to post this now, I believe some of you who may read this may still receive the blessing that year 2012 brings. God bless you as you read what I feel (from just reading the Word of God) year 2012 willl be. It has been my habit since 2007 to ask God as to what each year brings. I trusted that if I seek God for His will He will be faithful to reveal it to me. So as I was approaching year 2012,  I sought the Lord. Below is what I believe year 2012 is going to be. Year 2012 will be a year of healing among the people of God both physically and spiritually.  Biblically the number 12 points to the congregation of God, hence there are 12 sons of Jacob, 12 apostles and the stars of the woman mentioned in Revelation 12 points to the congregation of the Lord. Just as Jesus raised a 12 year old damsel from the dead, year 2012 will also see to the healing of the church from dead

When God speaks...He sure hits the mark!

Just recently I entered into a fast for two reasons: (1.) Fix my troubled heart before the Lord and (2.) Seek specific direction concerning some things He has been speaking to me about to do. In the next few days I will be sharing highlights of my intimate encounter with the Lord during this personal retreat. As I mentioned earlier the first reason for my fast was to fix my troubled heart. Life after moving to the USA has been a mixture of a lot of things. While everyday, I wake up to a loving presence of a godly husband who has been a tremendous blessing to me since the day we got married, living in the west has its challenges. One of these challenges is feeling of alienation and missing everything that is Asian. I miss being able to freely share what is in my heart with friends back in my home country. Here I soon learned that people are not as comfortable to listen to confidences. Private matters are supposed to be that..private. I guess that is the reason why psychiatry is a boom

God's word for me for 2011 Part 3

" And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?' They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.' Matthew 20:6-7 The 11th hour pertains to the last working hour of the day. A lot of people think not much can be accomplished in an hour. In fact many laborers start preparing to head home on the 11th hour (last working hour of the day).In this passage we see potential workers standing idly in the market place "all day". If you are one of this men howwould you feel? There is something about unemployment that is discouraging or disheartening. By the 11th hour these men must have lost hope.Thankfully the landowner had a different view of the 11th hour. The 11th hour to him presented opportunity to hire some more people until before the closing of the work day. So, he sets out looking for more workers in his field. There are
